Draft Grade — Colts
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesB+ FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Colts: B.

The tape said wait; the Colts did not. Jo'Quavious Marks went at the 140th overall pick, a good 54 picks before the board was ready. No fireworks, but a solid B.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Scourton steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

Job largely done: running back settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Denzel Burke
In pick 20 they get a press-man option on the boundary. Need was not the driver here.
Pick33 Rnd2 Nic Scourton
The board had Nic Scourton higher than the 33rd pick, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. It fills a real need, too.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea at No. 44 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Oscar Delp
Oscar Delp at pick No. 76 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick108 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
The board had cheaper options than Rylie Mills at the 108th overall pick, and it noticed. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jo'Quavious Marks
They reached into another round for Jo'Quavious Marks, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick172 Rnd6 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom slipping to pick 172 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick204 Rnd7 Power Echols
Power Echols at slot 204 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
